Dutch Gaming Authority's general fine policy in force2 January 2025(PRESS RELEASE) -- As of 1 January, the Gaming Authority will apply a new general fine policy. This policy provides the Ksa with more guidelines for imposing fines and provides more clarity to gambling providers and other parties that fall under its supervision. The general fine policy applies to all violations that the Ksa supervises. The supervisor already worked with separate fine policy rules for illegal online supply, illegal exploitation of gaming machines and for gambling terminals. These remain under the relevant policy rules, because a different fine system is used there. The fine policy includes five categories, with a basic fine in each category between €500 (category 1) and €2,000,000 (category 5). Fines in the fifth category are only imposed for Wwft violations. For non-Wwft violations in the highest category (category 4), the Ksa can also impose a turnover-related fine of 3% of the offender's gross turnover, in order to increase the effectiveness of the fine. Michel Groothuizen, chairman of the board at the Ksa: 'The Ksa is becoming increasingly professional as an organization. After the opening of the online market in 2021, we were given a new category of license holders. In 2022, we imposed a first fine on a license holder. We have now gained enough experience to arrive at a well-considered fine policy for both license holders and other parties. This creates clarity for the parties under our supervision and hopefully motivates them even more to avoid fines.'
